MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
by The Goblet

Chapter 26

"Albus!" Aberforth called as he spotted his brother in the Headmaster's Rose Garden of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The garden had been set up for the wedding between Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. Being a rather intimate little wedding there were only a few rows of chairs for the guests who were mainly Order members and school staff.

The garden was a small enclosed space, directly under the Headmaster's tower, and in the direct view of the Headmaster's office. It was surrounded by seven-foot high hedges to keep wandering students at bay, and privacy in. A green door led to a private entrance hall at the base of the Headmaster's tower, which connected directly to the Headmaster's study, and a small greenhouse, which propagated new cuttings, stood to one side.

As he heard his brother, Albus turned from where he was reviewing the rituals of the bonding ceremony. "Aberforth!" he greeted his younger brother, abandoning his book and giving his brother a large hug. "What are you doing here?"

Aberforth returned his brother's hug and ushered Honeyduke into the garden. "I have some confidence with you that discerns you nearly," he said.

The Headmaster smiled, despite his brother's appalling grasp of the English language. "Of course Aberforth, only you must keep it brief, I am very busy. I have a wedding to officiate over in half an hour."

Aberforth nodded. "Yes, yes, of course."

Honeyduke backed Aberforth, nodding his head vigorously.

"What is it, my good friends?" asked Albus.

"Honeyduke will speak a little off the matter: he is an old man, his wits are not as blunt as I would desire they were; but he is honest: very honest."

"There is no other man older or honester than I," Honeyduke admitted, blushing.

"Comparisons are odorous: palabras, Honeyduke," responded Aberforth.

Albus pinched the bridge of his nose, just under his glasses. His brother was in fine form today. And wasting his time. "You are becoming tedious, Aberforth," he warned.

Aberforth smiled at his brother. "It pleases you to say so, we are but the lowly Citizens' Watch; but if I were as tedious as the Minister of Magic, I would bestow it all on you."

Albus raised an eyebrow. "All your tediousness on me?" he asked.

The Innkeeper nodded. "Of course! I hear the rumours Albus: of your greatness: of your role in the war. You deserve all tediousness."

"You do," affirmed Honeyduke.

"I would very much like to know what you have to tell me. What is so important that you must interrupt the wedding preparations?" Albus asked his brother. He had had quite enough of his brother's foolishness about tediousness. Especially as he couldn't even decipher what his brother was trying to say.

Honeyduke stepped forward and bowed. "Sir, our Watch to-night, in your great absence, has arrested two outright scoundrels, the most drunken, scandalous men we have ever had the misfortune of meeting," he said.

"Um… Very Good?" the Headmaster responded, clearly not understanding what the matter had to do with him.

Albus waited for some further explanation. Some further reasoning as to why they were telling him of all people that they had arrested two drunks, most probably on their way home from the Three Broomsticks.

He looked at Aberforth. Aberforth looked back. Neither man spoke. No explanation came forward.

Eventually, Albus looked at his watch. "I must leave you," he told the two men as he spotted some guests arriving for the wedding. He began to usher the two time-wasters out of the garden and towards the school's main gates.

"One word," interrupted Aberforth, finally breaking out of his stupor. "Our Watch has indeed comprehended two auspicious persons, and we ask that you interview them this morning."

Albus rolled his eyes. He really did not have the time to deal with his brother at this moment in time. "Take their interview yourself and bring it me," he told his brother. "The wedding is about to start, and I am not even dressed yet!"

"It shall be done," replied Aberforth, bowing deeply, incredibly honoured that his brother had deemed him worthy of such an important task.

"Yes, yes, now you must go," Albus said, pushing his brother and his companions towards the gates. "I really must prepare."

Aberforth watched as his brother hurried across the garden disappeared into the green door. He sighed. Albus was a very important man, and didn't often have time for him: especially not after that incident with their auntie's goat.

He turned to Honeyduke. "Go and fetch Scrivenshaft from the quill shop and tell him to bring some quill and parchment to the gaol. We are now to examination these men."

"We must do this wisely," Honeyduke advised.

Aberforth nodded. "We will prove ourselves, and the Watch with this. We will make no mistakes. Go get Scrivenshaft so that he may be a disinterested witness to write down our excommunication. I will meet you at the gaol."
